Yorkshire (West Riding) / Lund, Curry of Knaresborough and Blackfriars
« on: Saturday 04 March 23 18:08 GMT (UK)  »
Mary Lund, daughter of William Lund and Mary Andrews of Knaresborough, married George Curry of Broadway, Blackfriars, London in 1824. I have not found a birth record for him, about 1800. They and two sons are in the 1841 census with Mary recorded as 'Ann'. Later they emigrated to Natal, South Africa, and remained there.
If anyone knows of George Curry's birthplace, birth and death dates , I'd be very interested.

The Common Room / Weymouth:Hinksman (Pritchard) and Wilson connection to Duke of C. pub?
« on: Wednesday 29 June 22 09:19 BST (UK)  »
I have no place of birth or parents' names  for Sarah Hinksman, born 1777, married Thomas Pritchard in London, died about 1830.Old family notes spell her name Hinksmas.
In her 1829 will she made bequests to sister-in-law Lucy Bayliss, James and Mary Ann Wilson (of Piccadilly) and had a 16th share in the Duke of Cumberland pub (?),Weymouth. She also left money to Moravian Missionary Society and Pilgrims' friends society.

I'm wondering about any link to Wilsons (Piccadilly and/or Weymouth),and to her cousins Sarah Rodgers (Weymouth) Elizabeth Richards (Axminster).

Their son John Terrell Goodall 1917-92 married Margaret Ellen Sherwin b 1916.
